Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
En el contexto de este pasaje, Dios recuerda a su pueblo que son preciados para Él. Él los formó y los redimió. Nunca los va a abandonar. No importa los desafíos o dificultades estará siempre con ellos para rescatarlos y darles victoria y seguridad. Nosotros podemos aceptar esta misma promesa. También tenemos el beneficio de ver la larga historia de la fidelidad de Dios con sus promesas. Podemos ver como Dios preservó y redimió a su pueblo una y otra vez, rescatándolo de sus enemigos. ¡Dios nunca olvida a sus hijos! ¡Lo sabemos por sus promesas, lo sabemos por su historia y lo sabemos por fe!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We must be careful. These verses are NOT promises to an individual, but to Israel as the people of God in the days they were written (Isaiah 43:1). God is reminding ancient Israel that they are precious to him. He formed them and redeemed them. He was not about to abandon them. No matter what challenges or difficulties they face, he would be with them to deliver them and bring them to safety and victory. As followers of Jesus, whom God brought into his people by grace (1 Peter 2:9-10; Galatians 6:14-16), we can accept these promises as God's people today, as Jesus' church. As believers in Jesus, we can see how God has preserved his people in the past and redeemed them time and time again. We can celebrate how God delivered his people from impossible situations in the past and brought them to the Messiah, Jesus. God will not forget us! We know it by promise. We know it from history. We know it because of our faith! God will bring us victoriously to himself with great joy (Romans 8:37-39; Jude 1:24-25).
Mi oración
Gracias, Dios Todopoderoso por siempre estar cerca. Sé que muchas veces no soy consciente de tu presencia o de tu providencia o tus milagros. Sin embargo, creo, Padre Amado, que estas cerca aun cuando me siento solo y tu presencia parece lejana. En estos tiempos, Dios Amado, dame confianza para aguantar las pruebas difíciles para que también pueda compartir contigo en los momentos de tu triunfo. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Thank you, Almighty God, for always being near us. We confess that there are times when we are not aware of your nearness and your miraculous intervention in history for us. Nevertheless, we do believe, dear Father, that you are ever-near even when we feel alone. In those times, dear God, please give us confidence and perseverance to stand through the times of trial so that we can also share in your triumphs through us. We believe, O God, that you are with us! In Jesus' name, pray and confess our faith in you. Amen.
